Few ideas, little personality to attack with numbers. Inter had to take risks. Liverpool defended on the third line, standing still. Inter was slow, low quality, low personality. You had to start fast, attack them and scare them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The former forward also singled out a key moment in the game: \u201cThe penalty is a scandal, an absolute nonsense. If something falls in Inter\u2019s area, it falls on Bastoni. But leave him alone! What kind of naive mistake is this? Never a penalty.
